5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamite Jermaine!, November 12, 2006

By	Andre S. Grindle "Andre' Grindle" (Brewer Maine) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

'Jermaine Jackson' is his Arista debut in 1984.It couldn't be more different then his Motown releases.Wheras R&B/Soul considerations were a high priority for Jermaine at Motown,pop considerations define 'Jermaine Jackson' and it starts off with four killer dance tunes-"Dynamite" (the big hit,the upbeat "Sweetest Sweetest" and "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming" with brother Michael (the other hit on this album)and, yes if you please "Escape From The Planet Of The Ant Men"-now it's a very odd and slightly comic new wavish tune featuring all of the other Jackson brothers (particularly Tito) and despite what I hear from some I don't think it's stupid at all-just a fun pop novelty.So primarily 'Jermaine Jackson' is composed primarily of catchy,uptempo dance pop featuring every 80's trick in the book-fat bass synthesizer,electronic hand claps,surreal sound effects-the works."Come To Me (One Way Or Another)" and the phenomenal "Some Things Are Private" are no exception to that rule.The three most unusual tunes are the Whitney Houston duet "Take Good Care Of My Heart" which is more of an urban contemporary love song."Do What You Do" is the third hit from this album and is one of those 'quiet storm' classics you'll see on one too many R&B ballad compilations but it still sounds great.The final song is the most atypical-a very old fasioned piano ballad called "Oh Mother" which I assume was written for Katherine Jackson.I am very glad that after all these years of the original CD being out of print in the US and the import version being a much saught after collectors item that Sony Special Products reissued it in the US as part of it's budget line.'Jermaine Jackson' stands out as a very consistant album for it's time-for such a poppy album it contains absolutely no fillers.It's also very much a part of the Jacksonmania of the mid 1980's with the Victory Tour,'Thriller' selling up the wazoo and Janet coming into her own with albums like 'Dream Street' and later 'Control'.This was definately Jermaine's time to shine.
